6 Delaware, reported construction of free roads, totaling 8,909 miles. Distributions of this mileage are shown in table 1.

General locations of the improvements are shown in figure 1.

The distribution in the upper part of table 1 shows the mileage by status of completion: 100 percent complete, and partially complete, with the latter being subdivided into 5 general groups. The distribution in the lower part of the table shows the mileage by rural and urban classifications.

In a press release of August 21, 1957, the Bureau of Public Road announced 2,102 miles of toll roads were included in the Interstate System. The major reasons for the differences between this 2,102 miles and the 1,950 miles shown in table 1 are: (1) the mileages in table 1 do not include the original Pennsylvania Turnpike or other sections completed prior to August 2, 1947; (2) the press release of August 21 does not include the mileage of separately financed toll bridges and tunnels; and (3) certain portions of the Connecticut Turnpike can be used without payment of tolls and were classified in the “free” road category for purposes of the section 114 study.
